Homework Help: trig

Posted by killie on Thursday, April 30, 2009 at 7:01pm.

I am very confused about the concepts of..
sin è = sin(180 - è)
sin (180 + è)= -sinè
tan (180 - è) = -tanè

and how the final answer was found in this problem...

Find cos 510:

cos510=cos(540-30)
=-cos30
=-s.r3/2

i dont understand how we went from -cos 30 to -s.r3/2 ?
